On Friday night, Union Berlin will look to consolidate their position in the top six of the Bundesliga, as the team from the German capital welcomes the already-relegated Greuther Furth to the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei.
Urs Fischer's team is in sixth place in the Bundesliga table with just three rounds of games remaining in the German top-flight. However, Die Eisernen could still finish outside the European spots in the German top-flight, but they could also still claim a Champions League spot.
Union is four points adrift of the top-four in the German top-flight, while they are also just a point clear of seventh place Koln who look set to fight the boys from Berlin until the end for European football for next season.
The home side is certainly finishing their Bundesliga campaign in a strong fashion, as Union head into this game on the back of four straight league wins, having also scored at least two goals in their last three league matches.
For much of the Bundesliga campaign, Greuther Furth has been mired in the relegation zone of the German top flight. The visitor's fate has been obvious virtually since the start of the season and they will be making a quick return to the German second tier.
Sebastian Leitl’s team has claimed just three wins in the Bundesliga this season, having collected 17 points. The fact that Greuther are winless in their last nine games is unlikely to surprise many observers.
The Cloverleaves have quite simply been out of their depth in the Bundesliga. Not only have Greuther Furth conceded the most goals of any team in the Bundesliga, but they are also the second-lowest scorers in the division. That lack of goals has been illustrated in recent games, as they have failed to score in four of their last five Bundesliga matches.
Union Berlin still needs a victory to secure a European spot for next season, while Greuther Furth has little to play for but pride. Forebet predicts that Union will record a narrow win to boost their top chances of a top-six finish.
